About Niki

I live in London and work as a video journalist, reporting and producing primarily world news and sports features, including script writing, on-camera presenting, shooting, and editing. I recently produced almost all video coverage related to the crisis in Ukraine for the Wall Street Journal, reported and produced a special feature for the 2014 Ryder Cup golf tournament in Scotland, plus traveled to the Gulf of Oman to shoot a story on floating armories, maritime security and piracy. I have a Masters Degree from Columbia University's School of Journalism, where I focused my studies in broadcast, video and digital media.
